The Times of London reported that an elite Ukrainian drone unit is destroying the Russian weaponry as their soldiers sleep.

Russian tanks, command trucks, and other vehicles have been destroyed in nighttime raids by Aerorozvidka, a specialist air reconnaissance unit within the army, according to the paper.

Yaroslav Honchar, the unit commander based in Kyiv, told the paper that during the night Russian forces hide their tanks in between houses in villages where they can't be hit by conventional weaponry.

These stationary vehicles are in the cross-hairs of the elite drone unit.

Honchar told the paper that they strike at night when Russians sleep.

Honchar's drone warriors prefer the R18 because it has a 4 km range and can drop 5 kilogram bombs. The team uses a Ukrainian-developed drone called the Punisher that can hit targets up to 30 miles.

Ukrainian forces have been able to destroy the equipment of invading forces with the help of drones such as the highly-rated Turkish-made Bayraktar TB-2 according to a research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute.

The success of the drones speaks to the skill of its Ukrainian operators and the incompetence and operational failures of Russian forces.

The Starlink satellite system was activated in Ukraine days after Russia invaded, according to The Times.

This means that drones can operate even if the internet or power goes out.

An Aerorozvidka leader told The Times that if they use a drone with thermal vision at night, it must connect through Starlink.

Delta is a Nato-supported intelligence system that pulls together information from various sources to identify targets.

According to The Times, this helps the unit make the most efficient use of their limited supply of bombs.

The Ukrainian general staff has been integrated into the model plane enthusiasts' organization after the success of its operations against Russian forces in the peninsula, The Times said.

In recent weeks, supporters from around Europe have been donating drone parts and other equipment to help build and repair devices damaged by Russian rifles.
